Photograph taken for a newspaper owned by the Oklahoma Publishing Company. Caption: "Chicago's latest skyscraper, the Tribune Tower, was formally opened to the public, today July 6th. This wonderful building, which is the last word in Gothic architecture, has been under construction for over two years, and crowns a competition in which architects in twenty two countries engaged, the leading participants receiving prizes aggregating $100,000. Tribune Tower and site cost eight and one half million dollars and the building proper rises to a height of 473 feet. The flag was ceremoniously raised at sunrise to the top of the staff, which is 600 feet above ground."
